TYPES OF CHILD CARE IN CALIFORNIA

CHILD CARE CENTERS: A Child Care Center (or Day Care Center) is usually located in a commercial building. Non-medical care and supervision is provided for infant to school age children in a group setting for periods of less than 24 hours.

FAMILY CHILD CARE HOMES: A Family Child Care Home must be in the licensee’s own home. A Family Child Care Home reflects a home-like environment where non-medical care and supervision is provided for periods of less than 24 hours.

There are Small Family Child Care Homes and Large Family Child Care Homes.

  • Small Family Child Care Homes provide care to no more than 8 children.
  • Large Family Child Care Homes provide care to no more than 14 children.

 

LICENSE-EXEMPT CHILD CARE: California’s child care regulations are intended to promote children’s health and safety in licensed child care facilities. However, families and providers should understand that state regulations exempt certain types of providers from licensure, meaning they can operate legally without a license. Licensed providers have undergone an application and review process with Community Care Licensing and are required to comply with certain health and safety regulations. While license-exempt care is not regulated by Community Care Licensing, there may be other governmental agencies that monitor their activities.

Four main groups of child care providers are exempt by the state from obtaining a child care license.

  • The first group includes individuals who care for the children of a relative, or who care for the children of one other family in addition to their own children. Certain parent cooperatives, in which families rotate care on an unpaid basis are also exempt.
  • The second group includes public as well as private non-profit programs that offer recreational services. These programs include some community centers as well as most parks and recreation programs.
  • The third group includes businesses that offer limited child care to their clients and customers. These programs usually require that the parent or guardian remain on the premises and that they remove their children within a specified amount of time.
  • A fourth group includes programs that are overseen by state agencies other than Community Care Licensing. For example, organized camps that are overseen by the Department of Public Health and heritage schools that are overseen by the Department of Education.

SEARCH FOR YOUR FACILITY ONLINE

Community Care Licensing Division has compiled important information regarding licensed facilities to provide the public on an online searchable database. The information supplied on the database contains facility inspection reports, violations, inspection history and other pertinent information for prospective parents/caregivers.

This information should serve as an initial point of inquiry regarding the status of licensed facilities. Additional information about a particular facility is available from the appropriate licensing office.

If your child is already enrolled in licensed care, you can subscribe to your child’s facility in the database and get updates when any new information is provided about that facility.

Regarding Family Child Care Homes in the Facility Database:

  • Large family child care homes may be searched by area and contain the same information child care centers have excluding addresses.
  • Small family child care homes may only be searched by knowing the exact facility license number; a general search will not bring up the small family child care home.
  • Family child care homes located in Del Norte or Inyo County are not in the database.

Your local Resource and Referral Agency (R&R), is also available to help you find a child care facility.

CHOOSING THE BEST CHILD CARE FOR YOUR FAMILY

The Parent’s Guide to Choosing Child Care is the Department’s comprehensive publication for parents seeking child care. It includes information about the different types of child care that are licensed in California, various educational philosophies, questions to ask a prospective provider, and a checklist to take with you when you tour facilities while making your child care decision. Also available in (Español, 中文, Russian).

YOU AND YOUR CHILD(REN) HAVE RIGHTS REGARDING CHILD CARE

Children, parents and authorized representatives, and child care licensees all have rights in licensed child care facilities. Protecting these rights is an important part of the emotional and physical well-being of children in care. Everyone must be treated with dignity and respect and these rights must be protected according to California’s laws and regulations.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER

  • Try to resolve it with the provider.
  • If you think a child care provider is violating licensing laws, you may file a complaint with the complaint hotline or your local licensing office.
  • If you suspect any form of child abuse or neglect you should report it immediately to your local police or sheriff’s department and your local licensing office.
  • The Child Care Advocate Program is available to assist with any issues or questions you may have.

FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST A FACILITY

If you feel it is necessary to file a complaint with the department you may call the complaint hotline. When you contact the department it is important to provide the following information:

  • Your name and contact information
  • the name of the facility
  • the facility location
  • the facility license number
  • the more information you can provide about your concern, the better:
    • what you saw
    • when and where you saw it
    • who or what was involved in the situation

Your complaint will be investigated and you will be notified of the results when the investigation is done.

WHEN YOU REPORT SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS, YOU NOT ONLY PROTECT YOUR OWN CHILD, BUT ALSO PERFORM A SERVICE TO OTHER CHILDREN AND YOUR COMMUNITY.

Our major objective is to recognize the individual needs of each child and to provide our staff with the means to respond to those needs. We emphasize values to develop self-esteem, manners, respect, sharing, responsibility and honesty. We also focus on making good choices and most importantly having fun each day.

Voted one of the Best Day Cares in York County!

I had been associated with small steps day care from 1996 to 2011. Over this period of 15 years my daughters attended from birth through fifth grade.

One of the most anxiety producing things you can do in life is drop off your new born child into the care of a total stranger. From day one, Mrs. Nancy Levens, the owner and director of the day care set me at ease. It was very apparent to me that she and her staff were very professional, caring, and strict in regards to the proper rules and regulations of running a well managed children’s day care.

Over the years my daughters learned a lot that supplemented what they were learning in school. They also had a lot of fun and made good friends, especially during the summer sessions. Years after attending Small Steps, my daughters would comment, “we miss going there,” as we would pass by on the way to Dallastown High School. On one frightening occasion, my older daughter very early on, developed an unknown food allergy that produced a potentially serious reaction. Mrs. Levens handled it very professionally and in a manner like it was her own daughter. I’ll never forget and always be grateful for how this was handled and knew my kids were in the right place.With all of the positive experiences we had with Small Steps Day Care, I recommend this day care without any reservations.

We are all very happy with this daycare center. My son loves going here and even wants to get there early so he can play and interact with the other children. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The employees greet people every morning with a smile on their face and my son tells me how nice the teachers are. They also do not close or delay their hours due to inclement weather unless it is absolutely necessary. Their fees are comparable and they do charge a little extra when there is no school but it is well worth it to me knowing that my child is in great hands.

The summer camps they hold every summer is worth it. The staff provides a kid friendly environment and a fun one as well. On Wednesdays they go on field trips to different places every week or have a visitor to the school. I bet all kids come home raving about the trip. Some trips include Nixon Park, ice cream shops, mini golf etc. The best part of the trips is the kids get to spend time with their friends. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they take trips to Wisehaven swimming pool. However the kids are not aloud to go on the water slide and diving boards which I think are good safety precautions. They give you a permission slip at the beginning of the summer which indicate how deep you want them to go for example 4 ft, 5ft etc. Then Mondays and Fridays are rest days the kids go outside on to the big field and play group activities like capture the flag, red rover, shark attack, tag, volleyball, soccer, basketball and way more. They also have playgrounds for young one and older ones. That include a castle, ”monkey bars,” slide, swings, for all heights, and a black top, They also have club rotations such as field day, cooking, video games, scrapbooking and more. During the summer they hold small carnivals, BBQs etc which the kids stay afterwards. I would recommend this summer camp to anyone I hear it is so much fun!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS: If your child is between the ages of 3 and 18 and is not a native English speaker, you should get in touch with the English Language Learner (ELL) coordinators in Tuscaloosa before your arrival to the U.S.  The local ELL coordinators are Kristi Garcia in the Tuscaloosa City Schools – [email protected]; Tuscaloosa City Schools ESL Website or Leah Jones in the Tuscaloosa County School System – ljones@tcss.net; http://www.tcss.net/domain/3806.

Public schools in the city and Tuscaloosa County are free. Free bus transportation both to and from school daily is also provided. Certain age limits and distance requirements must be met.

The School District Office will provide you with the name and address of the school to which your child(ren) will go. You should make an appointment to meet the school district officials before your child(ren) begin school. To your appointment, bring with you the birth certificate(s) and all medical records of your child(ren).

Proof of immunization is required before your child may begin school. If you do not have proof of immunization your child will have to receive these immunizations before beginning school. Plan to bring your child’s past academic records, if available, in English. The school will need to view these records to determine at which level he/she should begin studies.

Kindergarten is available in some schools as a half-day program and in other schools as a full-day program. The school your child will attend depends upon your location. Lunch is a normal part of the day for all full-day programs. Children have the option of bringing their own lunch or buying lunch for a reasonable cost at the school. Family and personal food interests should determine whether or not a child buys or brings lunch.

Often children change their minds each day, buying lunch one day and bringing their own lunch another day. Milk and ice cream can always be purchased individually, even if a child brings his/her own lunch. If a child becomes ill during the school day, a School Nurse will examine him/her. Generally, the parent is contacted and asked to come to the school and pick up the child. If your child is ill in the morning, you should not send him to school.

Your daytime phone numbers should always be available to the School Principal in case your child becomes ill or there is an urgent need to reach you. A school calendar is sent to all parents at the beginning of the school year. School holidays are usually also announced to parents via information sheets sent home with the children. You should instruct your child to always bring home to you right away any information distributed to them in school.

COVID-19 resources for schools and child care facilities



  1. Home





  2. Public Health — Seattle & King County





  3. COVID-19 resources





  4. For schools and child care


Starting March 12, masks will no longer be required in many indoor public spaces including K-12 schools and child care facilities.

Public Health – Seattle & King County follows the guidance for schools and child care from the Washington Department of Health. School districts and child care facilities may choose to have students, teachers, and visitors wear masks even though the mask mandate is ending. Any individual who chooses to continue wearing a mask in school or childcare should be supported in their decision.

Teachers, parents and caregivers have been resourceful, creative, and patient in supporting at-home learning. Child care and early learning centers have been critical in supporting workers on the front line of our COVID-19 response. We commend all their efforts! Please check this site for updated guidance for schools and child care.

Report COVID-19 cases to Public Health

Use the link above to report “new or unreported” suspected outbreaks of COVID-19 among employees/residents/students/clients in schools/childcares.

If you do not hear from a Public Health Investigator and the number of cases significantly increase and/or cases associated with your facility are hospitalized or die as a result of their Covid-19 infection, please return to this portal to submit additional information about your facility.

School guidance for COVID-19 toolkit

Reporting Requirements:

Childcares: Washington state requires that childcare and early learning programs in King County need to report every case of COVID-19 within 24 hours to Public Health – Seattle & King County.

K-12 Schools: submit your initial report if your school identifies 3+ staff, employees, or students in a specified core group who test positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period.

Parents and guardians: if a child tests positive for COVID-19, please report the case to their school or child care center immediately. This helps to stop the virus from spreading, protect kids and staff, and keep facilities open.

People who use over-the-counter test kits and receive a positive result should call the Washington state COVID-19 hotline at 1‑800‑525‑0127, then press # (press 7 for Spanish), as soon as they receive results. The hotline is available Mondays from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Tuesday through Sunday (and observed holidays) 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Language assistance is available.

Guidance documents



Child care and Early Learning Centers


Public Health – Seattle & King County (PHSKC) has adopted the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) schools and child care guidance. Please reference the following document: Requirements and Guidance to Mitigate COVID-19 Transmission in K-12 Schools, Child Care, Early Learning, Youth Development, and Day Camp Programs

Respond to confirmed case of COVID-19 in child care
  • One or more individuals who have spent time in your facility have tested positive for COVID-19 (ex: child, staff or volunteer)

To notify Public Health:

  • Call the COVID-19 Call Center between 8:00 a. m. and 5:00 p.m. at 206‑477‑3977. Identify yourself as a child care provider. Interpreters are available.
  • OR complete a COVID-19 Intake Survey. Public Health will respond with an email or phone call.

If you have a suspected or positive COVID-19 case in your childcare or early learning program, Public Health recommends the following steps to prevent it from spreading:

  • SCREEN: Continue to screen and exclude children and staff who have COVID-19 symptoms, even if symptoms are mild. The only way to know if the symptoms are due to COVID-19 or not is to test.
  • MASK: If masking has been optional in your program, have all exposed staff and children (over 2 years) wear a high-quality (N95, KN95, KF94), well-fitted masks, regardless of vaccination status. Surgical or cloth masks with multiple layers of breathable, tightly-woven fabrics are other options.
  • TEST: Close contacts should get tested for COVID-19.
    • Families should test children immediately and repeat testing every 24-48 hours for at least the first 5 days after exposure.
    • Staff should test immediately and repeat testing every 24-48 hours for at least the first 5 days after exposure.
    • A student, child, or staff member, who is continuously exposed to COVID-19 at home, regardless of vaccination status, is recommended to test every 24-48 hours until 5 days after the last positive household member’s isolation has ended.
    • If you need more tests, please use this link: OTC Test Kit Request Form (office.com )
    • Recommend testing after a longer absence from childcare, such as when returning from vacation or holiday.
  • For children and staff who have COVID-19: consider requesting a negative COVID-19 test if the person plans to return before their 10-day isolation period is over. The test should be taken on or after day 5 of isolation.
  • VENTILATION: Consider having an indoor ventilation and filtration assessment completed by Public Health – Seattle & King County Environmental Health COVID-19 Recovery Ventilation & Indoor Air Quality Program. This is free non-regulatory technical assistance to help you improve your ventilation and indoor air quality.

If you identify concerns for ongoing or potential for initiation of COVD-19 transmission in a K-12 Schools, Public Health recommends implementing the following mitigation steps until COVID-19 transmission appears to have ended (e. g., for at least 10 days after the most recently identified illness onset OR most recent positive test if the case was asymptomatic).

Concerns for ongoing or potential for initiation of COVID-19 transmission in a K-12 Schools include identification of a cluster of cases (e.g., students in one specific classroom) or even one case who was contagious in a group with close contact (such as sports/PE class, theater group, etc.).

  • When feasible, implement universal, indoor masking with high-quality (N95, KN95, KF94) and well-fitting masks among all exposed staff and students (including buses), regardless of vaccination status.
  • Recommend increasing testing of potential close contacts regardless of vaccination status. Testing may be done at school or with over-the-counter tests at home.
    • Test immediately and repeat testing every 5-7 days.
    • If you need more tests, please contact your ESD OR order directly here: School Test Request Form (smartsheet. com )
  • Recommend participants of large, school sanctioned gatherings (both onsite and offsite) test themselves for COVID-19 immediately before the event, or as close to the time of the event as possible.
  • Consider holding these larger gatherings outdoors or places where indoor ventilation and filtration has been maximized to decrease COVID-19 transmission.
  • Consider having an indoor ventilation and filtration assessment completed by Public Health – Seattle & King County Environmental Health COVID-19 Recovery Ventilation & Indoor Air Quality Program. This is free, non-regulatory technical assistance to help you improve your ventilation and indoor air quality.

School-Age Care | Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families

School-age care refers to all programs that operate before school, after school, and during the summer and holiday breaks. Structured time in a school-age program can offer children opportunities to make friends, develop relationships with adult role models, and build self-esteem and conflict resolution skills.

Not all school-age programs require a license from the Department Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), including programs that are run by parks and recreation programs.

Child Care Check: Washington State’s Licensed Child Care Information System can help families determine if a program has a DCYF license.

Types of School-Age Care

Most communities offer a variety of school-age care programs. Families should plan ahead to research and visit the program before enrolling. High-quality school-age care helps ensure healthy physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. Not all programs fit all kids!

Licensed Care

DCYF licenses school-age programs to make sure they meet minimum standards for health and safety. The ratio for licensed school-age programs is 15 children to one qualified staff member.

To find licensed school-age care, contact your local Child Care Aware Washington resource & referral agency or call toll-free 1.800.446.1114.

Recreational (Unlicensed) Care

Not all school-age programs must be licensed, including those that are operated by a local parks and recreation department. Other types of recreational care include:

  • Visual and performing arts programs
  • Sports leagues
  • Recreational groups
  • Cultural and social development activities
  • Academic assistance and enrichment components
  • Community service projects
  • Leadership opportunities

To find recreational activities, you can check with your local:

  • Community of faith
  • Parks and recreation department
  • United Way or volunteer center
  • Newspapers and publications
  • County and city websites

Your local school district, YMCA or YWCA may provide both licensed child care programs and unlicensed recreational activities.

Visiting a School-Age Program

Choosing an afterschool program is an important decision for you and your child. This booklet can help you find quality child care providers and paying for child care:

You Have a Choice! A Guide to Finding Quality Child Care:
English | Spanish | Somali

And here is a list of suggested questions to ask while visiting a school-age program, modified from School’s Out Washington:

  • What qualifications do the staff and director have? What ongoing training are staff required to attend, and are staff encouraged to attend trainings offered by professionals in the field of school-age care? Are staff specifically trained to work with this age group?
  • How does the program’s environment look? Are there separate areas for different age or interest groups? Are there areas for kids to have some private space? Is it generally clean and orderly? Are you inclined to stay?
  • What types of activities are planned for the kids? Is there good balance between indoor/outdoor, large group/small group, active/quiet, and staff-directed/child-directed activities? Is there time for kids to just “hang out”? Are activities planned to meet the developmental needs of all children in the program? Will the program meet the needs and interests of your particular child?
  • What are the program philosophies and goals? Do these match your values? Ask to have a copy of the program’s handbook to check out all the important information on billing, payments, pick-up, safety, etc.
  • What is the staff-to-child ratio? The ratio should never exceed 15-to-1. Lower ratios (10-to-1) promote higher quality standards.
  • What is the rate of staff turnover? Continual changes in staff can create program instability.
  • What meals or snacks are served? Are they well- balanced to meet the cultural and nutritional needs of the children? Is there enough food served to meet the needs of this age group?
  • Do they have a state-issued DEL license that is current? Click here to learn more about licensing requirements.
  • Will the director give you names of parents in the program to call and ask questions? Do they allow open visits by parents?
  • What is the program’s discipline policy? Does this fit into your ideas and beliefs?
  • If your child has special needs, will they be met by the program?
  • What is your child’s first impression of the program–your first impression? Is the overall atmosphere and sound of the kids and staff a happy and inviting sound? Are they having fun?
  • What are transportation policies? What vehicles do they use?
  • What community resources does the program use?
  • What are the policies on TV viewing? Is it used sparingly and not in place of quality activities?
